Jones contract, Edwards to transfer

North Texas head men's basketball coach Johnny Jones appears as if he is about to land a long-term extension with the Mean Green, which will have an additional scholarship to work with after the departure of a veteran reserve.

A source close to the negotiations between UNT and Jones' agent said recently that the Mean Green's athletic department administration and Jones are trading proposals on a five-year contract. Jones is entering the final year of his deal at UNT and has been promised a new contract by athletic director Rick Villarreal after taking the Mean Green to the NCAA Tournament last season.

Jones is looking to build on that breakout season in recruiting this spring and will have an extra scholarship to work with after Harold Edwards asked for and was granted a release from his scholarship. Edwards was a promising recruit out of high school, but played sparingly last season at UNT, which has several frontcourt players returning next season.

UNT has already landed the first member of its next recruiting class in point guard Ryan McCoy of Midland College and still has three scholarships remaining heading into national signing day on Wednesday.

For more on Jones' contract situation and the departure of Edwards, see tomorrow's edition of the Denton Record-Chronicle or check out www.dentonrc.com.

I felt like Harold was coming into his own at the end of the season. Good luck to him.

I think you may be thinking of Harold Stewart. Harold Edwards only played in about 15 games and had many DNP's towards the end of the season. I am sad to see him go though, I was hoping next year he would have a chance to show what he could do.

You're right...read Harold and immediately thought Stewart. :lol: Oh well, we all make mistakes. Best of luck Harold!

I think you're getting Roderick Flemings and Joseph Fulce mixed up, CMJ.

Fulce is the one that UNO is in on---

Jesus, it's been a really bad couple of days as far as me mixing names up. That's at least the 3rd time in the last 2 days I've made just such a mistake. Work must be getting to me. Sorry all! :blink:

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Nice walk off win in the 9th....4-3....on a homer by Molly Rainey. All three homers today by seniors....Molly, Kailey Gamble (tied it at 3 in the 7th)...and Kalei Christensen....with a solo blast for our first run. Skylar gets the win....in relief of Mackenzie Wagoner. Great win.....game two coming up soon.

      A few HSO's

      This is the point I think has never been critically consider because of the greed of EVERYONE ELSE besides the players. The old system was never sustainable because the schools had very little invested in the players actually get the best education available at their schools. If guaranteed 4 year scholarships (with an option after 2 years) were the standard or breakable by the student I don't think we have the madness of today. The other major part is the lack of standardization and revenue sharing for all school playing at a particular level. How do you expect the players or coaches to have any loyalty when the schools have no loyalty to protect the health overall college sports. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      Somebody explain how the runner that was hit with the batted ball was called safe? These umpires are horrible.

      Good. Offer them a NIL deal and let them pay for their education. They shouldn't receive both.

      Wichita St with a wind aided HR in the top of the 5th to make it 2-1. Waggoner is pitching a heck of a game, but we need a few runs to pad the lead.
